ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER OPERATION HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER To mount the elliptical exer- ciser, hold the handlebar and Handlebar step onto the pedal that is in the lowest posi- tion. Then, step onto the other pedal. Push the Pedals pedals until they begin to move with a continuous motion. Note: The pedal disks can turn in either direc- Pedal Disk tion. It is rec- ommended that you move the pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal disks in the opposite direction. To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the pedals come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals will continue to move until the flywheel stops. When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest pedal first. Then, step off the lowest pedal. HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS To add upperbody exercise to your workouts, push and pull the upper body arms as you exercise. To exercise only your lower body, hold the handlebar as you exercise. Upper Body Arms HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL CUSHIONS The feel of the pedals is affected by the positions of the Pedal Arm pedal cushions. The farther back the pedal cush- ions are placed, the firmer the pedals will feel. To move the pedal cushions, lift the pedal Pedal Cushion (under the pedal) arms and slide the pedal cush- ions to the desired positions. Make sure that both pedal cushions are in the same position. HOW TO MOVE AND LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER Stand in front of the elliptical exerciser, hold the handlebar firmly, and tip the elliptical exerciser until it Handlebar can be moved on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical exerciser to the desired location and then lower it. Due to the Wheel Leveling Foot weight of the elliptical exer- ciser, use extreme caution when moving it. After the elliptical exerciser has been moved, make sure that the ends of both stabilizers are touching the floor. If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly during use, turn one or both of the leveling feet under the front stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated. 10
